Bag lady's complainin
|
To the cop on the beat
|
She says she's got nowhere to go
|
She got nothin' to eat
|
Cop says, "Lady, have you
|
considered a life of crime? You know you can eat real good when you're
|
doin' time"
|
|
And she has got no galleria
|
She's got no mall
|
All she's got is the street to lean on
|
And the gutter when she falls
|
|
Do you see them gang bangers?
|
They gonna have a fight
|
They gonna knock somebody's teeth out
|
Maybe put out somebody's lights
|
|
We're gonna have to bust them
|
Put 'em all away in jail
|
You know, it's the nineteenth time this month
|
Ain't gonna be no bail
|
|
And they got no galleria
|
They got no mall
|
All they got is the street to lean on
|
And the gutter when they fall
|
|
Fat lady with the wig on
|
She's down here buyin' antiques
|
She says, "Can't you control these kids?
|
They're actin' like a bunch of freaks."
|
And the kids are givin' her the finger
|
They re talkin 'bout takin' her purse
|
|
The street keeps gettin' hotter
|
The traffic keeps gettin' worse
|
|
And they got no galleria
|
They got no mall
|
All they got is the street to lean on
|
And the gutter when they fall
|
|
Do you see that politician?
|
Don't he look sincere
|
You know he will promise you anything
|
As long as he's down here
|
He's gonna go home to the valley
|
To his house and lawn
|
And we will still be here
|
When he is gone
|
|
And we got no galleria
|
We got no mall
|
All we got is the street to lean on
|
And the gutter when we fall
|
|
All we got is the street to lean on
|
And the gutter.
